Jewish Economies: Development and Migration in America and Beyond Volume I: The Economic Life of American Jewry

(Transaction Publishers) Kuznets uses original data to trace trends in the economic life of American Jews, measuring economic successes and discussing achievements. He shows that the immigrant status of nearly all American Jews lead to their assimilation and subsequent success story. Kuznets, who died in 1985, won the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences in 1971, and developed the “Kuznets curve,” which revolutionized the field of developmental economics. Weyl is an assistant professor of economics at the University of Chicago and a recurrent visiting researcher at the Toulouse School of Economics.
